Purpose: | Create a ZIP-compatible self-extracting archive |
Format: | ZIPSFX [/= /A /B"banner" /C"caption" /D"path" /F"file" /I /Ln /M"message" /N /P"xxx" /R /S"password" /X64] exearchive directory... |
exearchive | The self-extracting executable |
directory | The directory to be compressed into the self-extracting executable |
File Selection:
Supports command dialog, extended wildcards and ranges,
File Completion Syntax:
The default filename completion syntax is: [1] dirs exe [2*] dirs
Usage:
You can specify a pathname for exearchive. If you don't provide an extension, and the filename as entered doesn't exist, ZIPSFX adds ".exe".
ZIPSFX sets two internal variables:
%_zipsfx_files | The number of files archived |
%_zipsfx_errors | The number of errors |
Options:
/= | Display the ZIPSFX command dialog to help you set the command line options. The /= option can be anywhere on the line; additional options will set the appropriate fields in the command dialog. |
/Ln | Set the compression level (0 - 6, where 0=no compression, and 6=maximum compression). The default is 4. |
/N | Silent installation - hide the extraction progress bar and the "success" window when the archive executable is run. |
/R | If the argument is a subdirectory, copy all of the files in that subdirectory and all of its subdirectories to the zip file. |
/S | Use the specified password to extract the file(s). If you don't provide a password on the command line, ZIPSFX will prompt you to enter one. |
